Kia ora Tolcarne whanau. Here we are on the final Friday for Term 4... How crazy does that seem?! This week has been another busy one, with the final seniors leaving, Year 11 students finishing school and our junior Christmas activities.

We certainly feel ready for the festive season, after completing a different activity each evening, with Christmas music adding to our excitement!

On Monday night we started with snowballs and Christmas truffles. There was a lot of chocolatey mess while we created these, but they looked very cute once decorations were added!

Tuesday rolled around and the Year 10s had their turn to make hot chocolate bombs! These are the ultimate hot drink, where we made a chocolate sphere filled with milo and marshmallows - melted in warm milk 🍫☕ We also tested out ‘chocolate spoons’ this year, which were a hit - yum! The Year 9 students then had a chance to complete these on Thursday.

A highlight on the Term 4 planner is always the Gingerbread House decorating competition, which we did on Wednesday evening. Each group created very different designs, covered in all sorts of sweet treats and icing. Take a look below at a few of the houses, perhaps some more structurally stable than others 😜 The winning house for both year groups will be announced on Monday!

A big thank you to the kitchen team for this week. They have let us take over their space in the afternoons and evenings to prepare for our activities 🙏 We really appreciate it!

The final weekend is here... We hope you all enjoy time at home, before coming back for the final few days. Not long to go now - we will be farewelling everyone on Wednesday before we know it 😢 Ma tē wā 👋
